If a less specific group of bonds can be delivered to create a new unit, i.e., the bonds must satisfy certain constraints on issuer percentages, issue sizes, duration [interest
rate sensitivity], convexity [
sensitivity to interest
rate sensitivity], sector percentages, option - adjusted spread / yield, etc., then arbitrage can proceed more rapidly, and premiums
over NAV should be smaller.

CO2 emissions in particular continue to increase at a rapid
rate; ii) the effect of these gases is to warm the climate and it is very likely that most of the warming
over the last 50 years was in fact driven by these increases; and iii) the
sensitivity of the climate is very likely large enough that serious consequences can be expected if carbon emissions continue on this path.
At the low end of
sensitivity, we are living in a period of

over pre-industrial CO2 levels increasing at the assumed
rate of one percent per year, compounded.
If I understood Armour's paper correctly, he claimed that all feed - backs were close to linear in response to temperature
over time, but that different regional warming
rates (specifically, slow warming at high latitudes) could make the feed - backs and
sensitivity appear to increase with time.
This was my mental equation dF = dH / dt + lambda * dT where dF is the forcing change
over a given period (1955 - 2010), dH / dt is the
rate of change of ocean heat content, and dT is the surface temperature change in the same period, with lambda being the equilibrium
sensitivity parameter, so the last term is the Planck response to balance the forcing in the absence of ocean storage changes.

rate of warming
over the past decade has lowered some estimates of climate
